EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Louis VI of France grants the citizens of Paris their first charter. Painted by the talented artist Jean-Paul Laurens, this masterpiece beautifully portrays the solemnity and grandeur of the occasion. Louis VI, also known as Louis le Gros or Louis the Fat, ascended to the throne in 1108. In this scene, he is depicted seated on his majestic throne, surrounded by his loyal subjects. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and reverence as he bestows upon the citizens of Paris their newfound rights and privileges. The setting for this royal event is none other than Hotel Dieu in Paris, a symbol of power and authority during that time period. The city walls serve as a reminder of its fortified nature and importance within medieval France. The colors used in this oil painting are rich and vibrant, adding depth to every detail - from the intricate clothing worn by both men and women to the architectural elements that surround them. Jean-Paul Laurens skillfully brings together historical accuracy with artistic flair to create an image that transports us back to 12th-century France. This print serves as a testament to both Louis VI's reign and Laurens' talent for capturing significant moments in time through his brushstrokes. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we cannot help but appreciate how it immortalizes an important milestone in French history while showcasing Jean-Paul Laurens' mastery as an artist.
